Charge: high treason
Spying for Russia: woman sentenced to 15 years in prison
In Ukraine, a woman from the eastern region of Donetsk was sentenced to 15 years in prison for high treason on Thursday. She is alleged to have passed on militarily sensitive information to Russia. Just one of perhaps thousands of cases of espionage.
"She photographed military installations, determined their GPS coordinates, gave their exact address and took screenshots from Google Maps," explained the public prosecutor's office.
She then transmitted the data obtained in this way "to the enemy intelligence service for the destruction" (of the military facilities). The woman is said to have moved to the city of Zhytomyr last year and made contact with an officer of Russian military intelligence there.
Thousands of proceedings initiated
The Ukrainian judicial authorities have initiated thousands of proceedings on suspicion of collaboration with Russia since the start of the Russian war of aggression against the country in February 2022.
